Look, honestly I believe it highly possible that you have some Muslims screaming for accommodations............ I think that people can overreact to what is happening. I don’t see a huge outcry by Muslims for these things. And I would criticize those attempts if they are occurring.

"Mursal and hundreds of other Muslim cabdrivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport refuse to take customers they know are carrying alcohol. They don't search bags, but a wine box may be enough to leave a fare waiting for the next cab."

I saw that and considered that. Let’s say that a cab driver wanted to refuse service to a person who had a box of pornography. Could he do that?

What if a cab driver wanted to refuse service to a person who was not dressed decent. Allowed?

I have never been a fan of the federal government rewriting the duties of those who serve the public. But I can see the reasoning.

That issue is not a Muslim issue. It’s a question of the rights of a customer to trump the standards of the service provider.
